SO saying she steps out upon q
little balcony that is near and that
overlooks the little spot designated

"Yes, there she is-no, It's Miss
rClaxton-and what is she d0ngy"
Lila bends over the banisters
and looks searehingly down at the
figure sitting rocking to and fro,
in an attitude OF despair upon one
of the rustic seats that is nearly
hidden from view by the BREACHES
of half bare shrub.

"a think I shall 20 down 10 her at

some. Poor dear | don't think

Lila picks up a little crimson
shawl that has been lett carelessly
in the hall, throws ii over her head
and trips lightly down the steps
out upon the pebbled walk and il
soon near the spot where Viola
sits. She is quite near her befo e
she is aware of it. Then she sterts
violently and in confusion slips
small piece of white paper quickly
in her bosom.

little creature and 7 thank You for
your sympathy, but there's nothing
you can do for me. shall be my
self again before lunch. Come I
will return to the house with you"
She takes Lila's arm and togeth-
er they enter the hall, then they
separate, one goes to seek the
truant Louise, the other to her
room, there to fall upon her knees
and exclaim: "EIi, Ell, lama sa-
bachthdHi?"
She draws the piece of paper
from its hiding place and still upon
her knees, reads:
Mr.. St. George
DEAR SIR:-I will see you in
three or four weeks and be able,
I hope, to give you a full account,
and all particulars concerning the
case I wish you to investigate
thoroughly for me. Till then

Gustave De Leon.
She had picked it up in tho
walk where no doubt st. Georg,
had dropped it while walking ther,
and smoking, only a few moments
before she had gone out.
She buries her face in her handl
moaning piteOusly. "All is lost
lost, lost. Oh! God, upon bowed
knees ask thy strength and hant
to save me"
She rises, takes off her mornin,

Half unconsoiously she goes
through pretenos OF eating at
dinner. And when she places her

time later in the evening be does
not guess that gaping wound lies
bleeding in her hearts core.
The grand Opera house is crowd

How light his words yet how
deep do they sink into the heart Of

drops from her shoulders and she
clings to st George.
"Miss Claxton - Viola -" he
